NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-CD19 CAR T Cells ARI-0001; CD19 CAR-T Cells ARI-0001; Autologous Anti-CD19 CAR-4-1BB-CD3zeta-expressing T-cells ARI-0001;
NCIt definition : A preparation of adult differentiated autologous T-lymphocytes that have been transduced
with a lentiviral vector expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) composed of
an anti-cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) single chain variable fragment (scFv),
derived from the CD19-A3B1 hybridoma, linked to the intracellular signaling domains
of 4-1BB (CD137) and the zeta chain of the TCR/CD3 complex (TCRzeta; CD247; CD3zeta),
with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. The autologous T cells
were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies, expanded with interleukin
(IL) 7 (IL-7) and IL-15, and transduced with a lentiviral vector containing the CAR
gene construct. Upon administration, varnimcabtagene autoleucel target, bind to and
induce selective toxicity in CD19-expressing tumor cells. CD19 antigen is a B-cell
specific cell surface antigen expressed in all B-cell lineage malignancies.;
